I think porridge is better but going straight was a decent Spin Off. I think with Richard dying sort of overshadow the show due to it only having one season. I think the first season was feeling out where it wanted to go. If we had got more I think it would of found its ground. And got better and better.

Yep, exactly that. It would seem harsh to describe the cancellation of Going Straight as a tragedy compared with the tragedy of Beckinsale's death - a hugely talented actor and a wonderful person. But that was the reason GS only ran to one series. A shame as it was a great sitcom. The first Barker/Beckinsale scene in this episode, in the pub, is a joy.
Interesting continuation of Fletcher's story. Taking him out of prison where he was the big man and putting him in the outside world where he has nothing. The dynamic between Fletcher and Godber has changed too. In Porridge, Fletcher was Godber's father figure and mentor but in Going Straight, Godber has got his life back together and he's the one who has to "look after" Fletcher. It would have been nice to see them carry on into a second series, alas it was not meant to be.

Last year I was in a YO/Adult prison on Friday Porridge would come on at about 10pm on Yesterday channel. The lads would shout "Porridge is on" and the entire Wing YOs, Drill lads, lads not even from England would just all sit in silence and watch there weren't many episodes so the same ones would repeat but no one minded.

No show captured the tedium, the little funny moments and the sense of almost brotherhood prison instills as well as Porridge and it never will. This is equally good but I'm glad it wasn't on during prison as seeing Fletch leave might of been oddly tough for us to see from our cells.
Who’s to say what’s too soon? He got more out of 32 yrs than some get out of double that, starred in 2 iconic shows alongside 2 icons and was married with 2 children.
@@John-tz2tx I am not sure his widow and children would have agreed with you? For children to have a parent die young it can be quite traumatic? They were 5 and 12 years old, when Richard died
The great thing about the great Brit comedies is that they are so educational...40 years ago Basil Fawlty's American antagonist Mister Hamilton introduced to me and millions of others the exceptionally delicious 'Waldorf Salad' (sub grapes for cheese blocks I reckon) and now tonight I am googling 'Mato Grosso' a region in the western part of Brazil..educational and funny...you can't beat it.
I can't believe how much younger Rodney looks in this. And plus David Jason was also familiar with Rodney before Only Fools and Horses because he played Blanco.
Very sad this series only went 1 season... for obvious reasons. I bet they had a ton of possible story lines ready for another 2 or 3 seasons. We lost out there. Brilliant comedy
21:04 I find it really strange to see Richard Beckinsale and Nicholas Lyndhurst on screen together and talking. I have them both psychologically separated in my head, like they belong to different era's even though of course they both existed at the same time, albeit with an age and size difference. Its also odd to see that Richard Beckinsale is no longer the youngest character in the thing he's in.
@@my_beer_stories Jason worked with Barker in a number of different Barker written projects in the early seventies, especially Porridge (three episodes) and Open All Hours (1976) and I always wondered whether Jason, through Barker's influence recommended Lyndhurst for the role of Dave/Rodney when John Sullivan and his team were first putting OFAH together. Indeed, there is something of the OFAH dynamic in this, with Fletcher, Godber and Raymond pre-dating the role of Grandad, Del and Rodney.
@@KebabMusicLtd this leads perfectly into OFAH. Think you're onto something there but I can't see a direct link between the two other than Nicholas Lundhurst.
@@KebabMusicLtd that is an excellent observation...I do remember watching it when it first came out and of course had no idea who Nicholas Lyndhurst was, but of course the rest is history. I'm sure Sullivan must have been an admirer of Clement and La Frenais and how they structured their work, and as you rightly say, it is a strikingly similar dynamic between the 3 male characters as in OFAH.
British 70’s sitcom was indeed a small but talented world. Nick Lydhurst as a pre-“Rodney”, sharing the screen with Ronnie Barker, shown coming out of a corner shop the very spit of Open All Hours, starring David Jason from Only Fools, in a double act with…Ronnie Barker😅
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment?
Loved this series a great follow up to Porridge remembering Fletch but more so Godber sadly taken from us way before his time.Being a lorry lover i love the old yellow Volvo F 88.
When I was a little kid I thought fletcher and the bloke from the Two Ronnie's were two different people. My dad said it was the same bloke and I was gobsmacked.
Going Straight didn't have the magic of Porridge, but it's still a superb comedy in its own right. Hats off to Clement and LeFrenais for the brilliant writing. For me, the two greatest comedy acting performances in sitcom history are Ronnie Barker as Fletcher, and Leonard Rossiter as Rigsby.
@@brain8484 They both were aired in 1978 with this being shown earlier than Butterflies but I wouldn't have thought too many people would know which role he played first.
A total genius. The MAN of light entertainment..I put him on the podium with Peter cook and spike Milligan ..up there with Hancock and Erik Sykes ..a god of the 3 channels era.he strode it like a comedy colossus,Eric morcombe status ..
This is really good. I would've considered it old fashioned as a youth, but watching again now it's got what' is and has been lacking in situation comedy, and comedy in general over the last few decades.
John Sullivan got his first break writing sketches for The Two Ronnies ! he was gutted at not being able to get his foot in the door to work on writing for Porridge but I do think he was involved on the show somehow, can't remember now, it's in a long interview with him somewhere..But you can see all the connections there, Barker, Jason, Lyndhurst
I always thought if when Fletcher saw his parole officer she had said since he had no job and his wife had left him she had said she had no other choice but to send him to a half way house and when he got there Mr. MacKay was in charge would of been hilarious.
9:14 A proper 14 carrot plonker enters the room 🤣. And 4 those of u that don't get the joke, its Rodney from fools and horses, Nick Lyndhurst. Going straight was a terrific comedy and a gr8 sequel 2 Porridge. RIP Richard and Ronnie.

The character work by Ronnie is flawless. A classic if short lived follow up to one of the best ever written.
People say this wasn’t as well received as Porridge but I think the prime reason they never made any more was due to Beckinsale's death!
